“Star Wars and Funko are proud to present Smuggler’s Bounty, the only OFFICAL Star Wars subscription box in the galaxy! Featuring 100% exclusive collectibles, apparel and accessories from the Star Wars universe, each box is carefully curated for Star Wars fans and shipped directly to your doorstep. Every box is themed specifically around the Star Wars films with collectors in mind.

Each box will focus on a different part of the Star Wars universe and include memorabilia exclusive to the program, perfect for any Star Wars fan.”

The theme this month was The Empire Strikes Back!

The Empire Strikes Back Patch and Pin – these are small collectibles included in each box.

The box comes with a handy card detailing the items included.

Star Wars Socks – I already have several similar pairs, so this was slight a bummer.

Wampa Plush – This is a super cute and super soft plush.

EXCLUSIVE Han with Tauntaun Funko POP! – Despite this having been spoiled weeks ago, this is probably my favorite Star Wars POP yet. My biggest complaint is that the weight distribution is off. It kept tipping forward. Looks like they needed to do more testing on this design.

Summary:
I can’t stand the spoilers, as these are supposed to be mystery boxes. That said, the awesome POP Ride will attract a lot of new subscribers I’m sure. I just wish the rest of the box was better.
